- Application Group/Folder/Cabinet Administrator
- A user that can also add, update, and delete application groups, folders, and cabinets. An application group/folder/cabinet administrator is automatically given Logical Views permission to all application groups. An application group/folder/cabinet administrator can be permitted to do other things by selecting options under Authority.
- Hold Administrator
- A user that can add, update, delete, or view hold objects.
- System Administrator
- A user that can also add, update, and delete any user, group, application group, application, folder, cabinet, or hold on the system.

Important:
- When adding or updating a user, you are not permitted to specify a User Type or Authority that exceeds your own authority. For example, a user with Create Users and Create Groups authority cannot create a user with Create Folders authority.
- By default, only the user, the user that created the user, user administrators, and system administrators can view or maintain the user. See the User Permissions page for more information.
- Only a system administrator, an application group/folder/cabinet administrator, a user with administrator authority for an application group, or a user with add document permission can store data in an application group.
- Only a system administrator, an application group/folder/cabinet administrator, or a user with delete document permission can delete data from an application group.
- For IBM® i, each user must change their own password. (Administrators are not permitted to change another user's password.)
